This was my first time eating here. We were coming back from a trip and it was near our path home. My date had been here before. I wanted a good cheeseburger and sweet potato fries (no up-charge!) and that is what I got after somewhat of a wait. I also tried a pricey beer ($8) Mortal Wombat IPA on tap. I gotta tell you- it was great! Just note it has 6.7% alcohol. My date had the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Which she thoroughly enjoyed. For dessert we had a mini Spice Bundt cake with vanilla ice cream. Great dessert! I have never had anything like it before at a restaurant. The server, Ramonna, was attentive and friendly, adding to the good experience. Now for the down side: 1. I received a Supplemental Fee $1.41 - gotta find out what that is all about. (Update: this is a fee for using a credit card) 2. No military discount. Not only is this unpatriotic it is not in keeping with the proud tradition of the south and especially South Carolina. (Update: They do donate to a veteran charity according to their correspondence. However, this does not change how veterans, who are paying customers, are regarded.) As it stands for me, I would not come back because of this slight. read more

Folks stopped by the restaurant last night and so glad we did. This place is located on a Scenic Overview of the Saluda River. The Food choices are many as are the Drinks selections. I like the Seafood, they have a good selection to choose from. The place is usually packed so you might want to get there early. Definitely stop by and see for yourself. read more

Me and my husband pass this establishment all the time, and the parking lot is always packed! So we finally decided to give it a try for Friday date night.. The place looks much bigger from the outside (not that much seating). Overall, the food was very delicious! The bar service was a little delayed, as expected during happy hour at the bar area. Our waitress was still very friendly nevertheless! We will definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

Food is awesome Service is point on Atmosphere is great Wednesday steak and shrimp specials are out of this world read more

The service here was great. Ashley was our waitress and she was terrific. I wish I could say the same for the food. I had the seared scallops with creamy grits and sautéed spinach. The scallops were so overcooked I couldn't finish them. The spinach was tough and grits not very creamy. I don't think I will be going back. The three stars are only for the service. read more

First time customer, the restaurant aesthetically is beautiful but the service, Ashley = awesome server! And the food was DELICIOUS! I had the salmon entree and everyone else had chicken and we all left quite full and happy! Will definitely recommend and return! read more

My friend and I went during the week and sat at the bar. I recently moved to the area, I was hoping the place would become my go to based on the proximity. I wasn't impressed. We weren't approached by the bar tender for 10 minutes. The food wasn't anything to brag about. It was loud. read more

The food is alright but nothing great. Definitely good for the price of it. The interior is very unique and rustic which I enjoyed. Service was good but nothing fantastic. read more

Ordered 14oz ribeye which was supposed to be prime but was anything but, very chewy and not tender Asked for butter on my baked potato and the put margarine on it The 2d steak was tender and juicy but not much flavor My wife got the blackened chicken which was dry and super chewy The 2d chicken she got was juicy but chewy and they didn't remove the cartilage strip Her risotto was paste read more

Excellent. Made a reservation since it was our first time and it was Fri. Our table was already set up when we arrived. We started with homemade Pina Coladas. Very tasty and refreshing. I had beef medallions with garlic mashed potatoes served with a house salad. My husband had fried shrimp with fries and cole slaw. We both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We will definitely make the 35 min drive to eat here again. read more

Saluda River Grill - New American Near Me - Piedmont, South Carolina

Food was good, served quickly considering our large group and the fact that our reservation had been released just before we arrived. We waited 20 minutes, I estimate. Servers worked hard and kept our group happy. Restaurant is noisy, although we were there on Sat evening. Wonder if additional ventilation is in order; our clothes and hair smelled strongly of cooking odors and needed cleaning after the visit. read more

Love this place! Reasonable prices, good food and great service! Feels like a family gathering usually.

Will never go back there. My son's 18th birthday and with his surprise cake in their kitchen waiting to be brought out, the waitress asked us what we wanted for dessert then catches herself and said oops and nevermind. So much for a surprise. She totally ruined a moment that we can never get back. Horrible communication between the hostess and waitress as they had his cake in the kitchen. First and last time I will be going there!!! read more

A small group of us came for quick drink while we waited on a wedding party to show up nearby for a rehearsal dinner. The environment was very laid back and casual. For a Friday evening (around 5 pm) it was fairly empty. Despite being on the Saluda River, there is no outdoor seating which kind of seems like a missed opportunity. For drinks we ordered a margarita and a tequila sunrise. The drinks were good but not very strong. We did look over the menu and prices seemed decent. And the plates looked good floating by! Would recommend this place for a casual family/friend outing. read more

Nice atmosphere. Good staff. Food is decently priced, but also only decent. Went with a party of six and none were overly impressed with our meals. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. read more

This wasn't really my cup of tea. Food was over priced and not that good, but service was good.

My husband and I finally got to visit this restaurant and I would say overall the place is great! We came on a Tuesday night and it was fairly busy. We got seated right away and were seen by a waitress just as quick. We ordered the SRG Spuds and they were 7/10. We felt like they needed to melt the cheese more; however, their ranch is to die for!! It's so good! My husband ordered the 12oz NY Strip medium rare, fried shrimp, Mac & cheese, and a side of fried okra. His steak was cooked perfectly! The shrimp was an amazing addition. And the Mac & cheese... wow, just wow! It tasted home made & had so much flavor. I ordered a side house salad & grilled salmon that came with corn risotto and spinach. The house salad was really good with the ranch. The salmon was cooked perfectly and paired very well with the corn risotto; however, the spinach was okay. For dessert, we got the dessert quesadilla & it was good, but we could've went without it. I wish they had more dessert options, but if one just wants savory food, this place is it! read more

Off the normal roads, at the site of a destroyed mill, Saluda River Grill offers wonderful atmosphere and a good meal. Well worth the drive and you will be back. read more

Good Service Great Atmosphere People are very welcoming Food is ordinary. They need to step this up real good. Presentation and execution is important. It seems like they have a fast food cook with You Tube instructions. Bar is great. Very Nice and Clean Parking needs to be improved. This is what you call the Up and Coming Fine Dinning Experience read more

Very good! There were four of us, and we all took advantage of the Monday prime rib special with two sides for $11. We all ordered a variety of sides, from cole slaw to mashed sweet potatoes to mac n cheese, and everything was delicious. The prime rib was flavorful but somewhat dry, but was still very tasty with help from the au jus and horseradish. Our server, Michelle, was friendly and kept our glasses filled. The restaurant itself is a large space, formerly a mill, with high ceilings and an upscale, rustic ambiance. With the river running next to it, it seems like it would be a nice setting for an event. Worth checking out! read more

Server was extra good and very polite ! A real jewel and good size helpings at a fair price ! We will definitely be going back ! read more

Its a nice building beside the river, very picturesque.... "And i do not Relish beating up on a business post covid". BUT the food was okay, but not up to the price we paid, we started off with the artichoke dip. It was okay just okay. With ordinary tortilla chips. We then had a plate of fried seafood, no sauce and when we asked we got a yucky over sweet ketchup. The chef should create a signature sauce to go with fried seafood. And make it pop. The cocktails are not good ,over sweet and no heart in the making ,as if they were made by some one who does not drink or even enjoy one themselves. It was not a bad experience. It just felt like there was no heart in the creation. read more

Love the food and the service here. They did an awesome job making us feel welcome and ensured our service was great constantly.

Wow! We were not expecting this place to be so beautiful inside. We passed by the restaurant/bar (mostly bar) and decided to check it out for a beer while on our way somewhere else. Outside, the large building is right on the river, and really had a stunning view. Inside all looks upscale and brand new! We sat down at the bar, which takes up maybe a third of the inside-it's huge, and although we initially only wanted beer, we felt compelled to try their fried green tomatoes. They were really great, and came with a ton of pimento cheese. Even my boyfriend, a lover of pimento, thought it was too much cheese. However, the tomato salsa-esque sweet chutney it came with was so delicious, but minimal, so we got a whole thing of it on the side and loaded up on that, which really knocked the tomatoes out of the park. I hope to come back here soon to try some other menu items! On a side note, if they built a patio outside overlooking the river, this would easily become our number one local hangout! There's a few tables outside by the entrance, but they're very much in the shade and without the amazing river view. read more
